Mich. Lesbian Says She Was Attacked After Appearing on TV

A 28-year-old Michigan woman who married her partner in Michigan last month says she was attacked and knocked unconscious by a group of men after she appeared on TV and gave an interview about her marriage, Reuters reports.

According to the Washtenaw County Sherriff's office, the woman got off a bus Monday when three men confronted her. Derrick Jackson, a spokesman for the sheriff's office, said the woman said one of the men shouted, "Hey bitch, are you that faggot from the news?"

She was then allegedly punched in the face and fell to the ground unconscious, Jackson said, according to Reuters. The woman was treated at a nearby hospital for bruises and welling to her face and abdomen and later released.

Jackson said the woman said she rides the same bus daily but did not recognize the men.
